"Thank U, Next" addresses her relationship history, from Big Sean to Pete Davidson. "Thought I’d end up with Sean, but he wasn’t a match. Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh" she sings. "Even almost got married, and for Pete I’m so thankful. Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, cause he was an angel."

Along the way Ariana reconnects with herself, and finds peace and patience. "Thank U, Next" might be a sentiment of acceptance and forgiveness, but the phrase "thank u, next" was certainly born in a different place for Ariana. After a promo for this week's episode of Saturday Night Live in which Davidson jokingly proposes to the musical guest, Grande subtweeted a string of now deleted tweets, reading "for somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh. thank u. next."

The song also happens to debut a half hour before SNL airs on the east coast. Listen to "Thank U, Next" below.
